Manachan had always ridden his acres, usually going out three or more times each week, regardless of the weather. He’d kept in close touch with all the clan families, had known how each of the farms was faring at any given time. Even when Thomas had last visited the manor some two years before, Manachan had still been riding out regularly. Thomas didn’t like to think how deeply, if silently, his uncle would be fretting over his inability to get out and about. A nagging sense of unease had driven him to ensure that Lucilla would always be with others, but now that was taken care of, clan duty called. He’d sent word to Sean that he intended to ride; Phantom was saddled and waiting in the yard. Accepting the reins from Mitch, who had been waiting with the big gray, Thomas noticed a smaller horse—a neat bay gelding—also saddled and waiting. The saddle was a side-saddle. He was about to mount when Niniver hurried out of the house.
